Detailed description:
GNOME Hispano Cofounder
------------------------

About 5 years ago I founded with Rodrigo Moya the GNOME Hispano community, where some GNOME hackers were 
born. We have created lots of documentations, create a website, give tutorials and IRC talks and lots of 
other things in order to create a GNOME community in the Hispanic world.

Currently we are creating a legal Association in Spain and we have bought the GNOME mark in Spain to protect 
it and use it for the GNOME project targets.

Barrapunto editor
-----------------

Last 5 years I have been and editor in the Spanish weblog Barrapunto.com, similar to Slashdot.org. It is the 
main weblog for free software in the Hispanic world and I have tried to show the world how GNOME has advance 
over the last years.

Planner developer
-----------------

Currently my main developer effort is in the Imendio Planner product. I have being coding in Planner last 3 
years.

Actually I am integrating Planner and Evolution.

Desing and build of GNOME Linux distributions
---------------------------------------------

In my real life work I have created the first LinEx distribution using GNOME with Eric, a mate in my work, 
somethings that has been probed to be important for the widespread of GNOME in Spain and in the Hispanic 
world distributions.

Currently I work in the LambdaUX company building a distribution also, using GNOME and Debian as main 
technologies.
